Inert, in a good way, and very British .
Picking up mod coats and Vespa, representative items of the mod culture that spread from England to the rest of the world from the 1950s to the 1960s, the designers of "CABARET POVAL" and "Diaspora Skateboards" greeted us in their standard UK style. Yuya Tanaka, designer of "Diaspora Skateboards," greeted us in his standard UK style. Mr. Tanaka chose a pair of "East End" standard color black. He showed us how he coordinated them with denim pants, which have an exquisite silhouette that is neither too thin nor too thick, and a mod coat.
I used to be in a band, and I liked Oasis. So I naturally fell in love with UK culture, and became fascinated with various British things, such as soccer and "Farewell, Light of Youth," a movie that symbolizes the mod culture. So when I first saw Hi-Tech's "East End," I thought it had a nice British inertia.
I often wear an M65 parka (i.e., a mod coat) to imitate the mods. I like the denim shorts I wore this time because they have a silhouette similar to the ones Oasis wore in the 1990s.
I was personally pleased with the larger sole of the "East End" pair I wore this time, which makes me look taller. As for the comfort, they are a little roomier than the ones I usually wear, so I don't feel as much pressure. I think they will come in handy at trade shows where I have to stand for long periods of time.
